About Me

Hi! I’m Michelle, I live in Hamilton, New Zealand with my husband. We both have a passion for History and travel and we often choose our destinations based on the history of the area. I started this blog to connect with fellow travelers, document my own travels and pass on my own tips and tricks that I’ve picked up along the way.

- 3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels Found the ruins of this 12th century on our way home after a weekend away. They're free to visit so you can go anytime. There's even an empty tomb sitting in the middle of the abbey! #egglestonabbey #barnardcastle #weekendaway #countydurham #yorkshiredales #12thcenturyhistory #emptytomb
- 3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels Ruins of a 12th century Norman castle. It would originally have been wooden and over the years it was rebuilt in stone and extended. King Richard III spent time here at one point and his emblem of a boar can be found in the ceiling of one of the windows #barnardcastle #3rdcastleoftheday #countydurham #yorkshiredales #weekendaway #kingrichardiii #12thcenturyhistory #englishheritage
- 3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels Another 12th century castle we visited today. The keep is pretty impressive and you can make your way to the very top. Once used as a prison for conscientious objectors of WWI and WWII it has been abondaned since the 1950's. #normankeep #richmondcastle #richmond #yorkshiredales #weekendaway #12thcenturyhistory #allthatremains #2ndcastleoftheday #englishheritage
- 3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels 1st castle of the day, Middleham Castle. The boyhood home of King Richard III. He lived here with the Earl of Warwick until the Earl's death. Richard then married the Earl's daughter, Ann, and they continued to live at Middleham until Richard became king and his duties prevented him from returning. #kingrichardiii #annneville #middlehamcastle #middleham #earlofwarwick #thekingmaker #yorkshiredales #weekendaway #1stcastleoftheday #englishheritage
